Anyone attempting to parry this is at a Quarter or -60 as they struggle to see where the blow may land, but only if the attack is made at a range of 3m or greater.



Figured if you were to use this to attack someone close to you, you wouldn't gain the benefit of the parrying penalty.

Duration: 1 Round/Next Attack
MP cost: 4
Description: Your next melee attack (with or without a weapon) has a range of up to 10m as waves of telekinetic energy strike your foe. Anyone attempting to parry this is at -30 as they struggle to see where the blow may land, but only if the attack is made at a range of 3m or greater, unless they are parrying with a shield (then the parry is at full). This attack may also be dodged.

Would barriers/cover interfere with this attack? eg there is a person between you and the target or they are shooting around a corner with only the arm and part of their head exposed, they are standing partly behind a tree etc

[logan9a]

Cover? Good question.

[PotatoJedi]

I would say yes, cover does help.

I'm thinking of it like this: imagine you are wielding a really long pole, up to 10m. The bit that you are holding is "solid" but the bit in the middle is intangible. The bit at the end that you hit your enemy with is solid. Things can pass through the middle but the tip still needs to find its way to the target. If they are behind a flipped over table, you'll have a harder time making the tip connect; it doesn't magically move through obstacles, hence why you are still able to block it with a shield.

[Fantômas]

I pictured it more being a wave of force that springs out from your weapon. Mainly due to it being usually portrayed that way in martial arts movies, anime etc.

[PotatoJedi]

That was another way I was picturing it, yeah. Either way, cover would still apply.

[logan9a]

Thought: This one could be 'force' (ie same shit that a weapon does) and you could have one that springs off of it (side branch) that does 'spiritual'. This wouldn't matter at all for normal critters (same exact damage) but would allow you to punch ghosts in the face.

Side branch vision: The spell above -> punch ghost in the face -> 10m punch ghost in the face.

Thoughts?

[PotatoJedi]

Sounds good to me. I can write it up later if nobody else has yet.

[logan9a]

Please do.
